    Came here because seen a video of Mikey Chen on Youtube, and he had ordered the cheese fondue that looked so delicious. I thought to myself, I gotta try it. Unfortunately. I came on a Sunday and didn't know it was buffet style. Nonetheless, we gave it a go. We didnt know what to do at first lol, but our server was glad to show us where to start. Food was surprisingly delicioso. Everything tastes so good. Fonda Don Chon did not disappoint. I will be coming again they just need to up their alcohol game. Spicy margarita fell flat but the price was right. $80 for two including Sodas and margarita.

    Really enjoyed this place. Cool decor, good vibes, and the service was on point. Our server was attentive and really kind to my son which made the whole experience better. Got the fajitas and molcajete don chon, both were banging. Chips and tortillas are homemade which you can totally tell. Would go again for sure.

    Food was delicious! Plus the atmosphere and employees made eating here such a welcoming experience. Highly recommend eating here for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I’d be happy to return and support their business.

    Woman at the entrance was rude. When seated was a total different story. Oscar gave us excellent service. Food was flavorful and tasty. Overall it was very good. I would recommend it if you want an “authentic as it’s possible “ experience in the area

    I had the most delicious birria tacos ever. I think even better than mine, well maybe, lol. The server was super nice and attentive and the music wasn't too loud that I couldn't have a conversation with the hubby. Loved the place, will definitely come back to try the buffet. Yummy, !!

    Great buffet! Lots of variety. Highly recommend the menudo, pan dulce, guacamole and pork in salsa verde. The atmosphere was homie and the servers are very attentive and friendly.

    This was the best Mexican food we've had in years! The steak fajitas were tender (like ribeyes) so delicious! The potato tacos were delicious too! Their chips & salsa were my favorite

    The best service, the best Mexican food in the state! They make you feel like family. I selfishly don't want to tell everyone how great this place is because I don't want more people to go and risk it getting too crowded!
